Thanks for the review! I have had my 9m Pivot Nvision for a few months now and it is the best kite I have ever flown. Just pulls forward and stays in the air - great for backside waveriding btw. Only regret - should have bought an 8 instead of a 9 because it just flies in wind I would normally fly an 11...and now looking for a 6 to complete the quiver.
To those thinking about aluula. (from my personal experience as I own my first one). It is not worth the price and the hype unless you are probably a real real PRO. I was not blown away so to speak. I kite over 10 years. Jumps of 20m+, loops etc etc. Yes, it is probably a little bit lighter, but can't be 3 times more expensive... and as its so expensive, you need to take so much care about it every time. Regular Naish Pivot 2024 will be 95% as good as the aluula stuff. Lot's of hype for not much gain IMHO
Interesting feedback. I can't speak for an Aluula Pivot, but I've owned several quivers of regular Pivots and agree that they are great kites. I have to disagree on the blanket statement on Aluula though. I had North/Duo Evos in 2018 and they were good kites too. Bought Evo Dlab quiver last year and they are drastically different from my 18s and current Dacron versions. Really better top end, way better low end, more response, and bigger boosting. Saying they are 3 times as expensive is a bit of a stretch too. Maybe 25% more.

I have had 10m e 7m NVision from 11m and 8m standard allround kite... feels power like 1-2 size bigger and responsiveness is nuts!
Bringing the hype!
what is that bar you are using in the video???
I was asking myself the same question
how the wind range compares to the normal Pivot?
Slightly better in low and high wind. Sweet spot is similar.

Surprised to see the full-length run of black webbing on the bottom of the struts.
